I thought the compatibility scores were supposed to be based on our own interests ?
I just realized , instead of showing those in the age group we asked for , the percentages are based on someone else's chart of what is normal or average . Please note , one of the groups here is for older women dating younger men . That does not mean I am looking for a man ten years my senior , nor does it mean I am too old for a man 15 years my junior . Can this somehow be fixed , so the percentages are actually based on what we're looking for ?

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.My understanding is it is based on the number of matches in your profile questions. The percentage doesn’t weigh which answers, and the less questions you answer, the higher your percentage of matches is liable to be. A very unsophisticated and inexact number for sure if I am right.

Mmmmmmm, what’s the name of the group for older women possibly interested in younger men? Asking for a friend ?

I do not find this to be true. I entered 50-90 as a. Age range, and that is what it shows me.

I got a match of 99%, with the one person on this site I know personally. I don't know how that was determined. Certainly not from the criteria on our profiles. It's very suspicious.

If you call up someone's bio and click on the little heart , they will show you which are matches and which are not .
"Suspicious"?????? Want to explain? Motive, for example? It's an algorithm, not a gnome with evil intentions in a cave, ya know........
My first week here, I clicked on several profiles. The first 4 men I chose were men looking for men. I'm not sure how to interpret that; after all, what are the odds? I was surprised that the algorithm would include them in my "browse." That was before I knew that this site is much more than a dating site.

I didn't even think to check that . Good catch ! Have you gone to admin about it ?
Use the search engine, and answer As If you were the searchee....you probably put "men in the first box, that's why you got 4 men looking for men
@AnneWimsey I checked, and I did it correctly. The vast majority of the results were 'men looking for women.'
I had to go back and check, but I thought I remembered not setting an age range on mine and I didn't.
I didn't want anyone to be excluded from communicating. Some of the younger people I have seen here who are struggling with rejection don't need to feel it here.
And I simply mean that in a community sense.

I never noticed this. You should probably post it in the Senate group - [agnostic.com]
